Prologue

or:

El Diablo

"I took a deep breath and I listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am."

-Sylvia Plath

The pillow grasped and then it gave

And rapt my falling head

And eyes with wings, still fluttering

Danced behind the curtains of my eyelids.

My feet, while tapping rhythmically

Turned up to me and said,

"I think we'd better turn back, friend

lest we live in regret."

And in that moment, it would seem

That everything came at once.

All fears, all doubts did conference

And glory did fall upon...

--An explosion!

One of magnificent sorts

That would ring round the world for years

Through mountains, seas, and maple trees

Preaching remorse and revere.

Chaos, beautiful in its plight

Delightful in its pangs

Like the thrill of watching cities burn

We danced beneath its fangs.

Erupt from hollow hills, my friend

Of those still fast asleep

When lightning strikes, please do incite

When shrill cries run down the streams.

The echo of the passing dawn

Still caked within my dreams

Sang cannon blasts, long unsurpassed

Now forgone from memory.
